Gurgle, Lian Jin's stomach growled and his face turned red.
"You must be hungry. I made some dumplings. Let's eat together."
"Okay," Lian Jin responded hastily. He felt that he had responded too quickly and that it was not good, so he added, "I have a small appetite, so I won't eat more than yours."
When Xie Yunjiao saw Lian Jin finish his fourth bowl of dumplings and then stood up to scoop more dumplings, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. Is this what he meant by having a small appetite?
It’s not that I feel sorry for the food, but I’m afraid that he will feel unwell if he eats too much.
"Lian Jin, even if the food is delicious, you can't eat too much, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable." Xie Yunjiao said.
"The dumplings are delicious, the best I've ever eaten, but I'm not full yet. I want to eat more. But don't worry, if you think I've eaten too much, you can deduct it from my salary."
Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai looked at each other and felt that Lian Jin was really arrogant.
Doudou liked him very much, and the two of them talked and laughed, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.
"Ouch." Doudou suddenly stopped, as if he had bitten something hard.
"What's the matter?"
"Mom, what did you wrap in the dumplings? Why are they so hard?" Doudou said as he spit out the hard object in his mouth.
It's a copper coin!
"So the lucky dumplings were given to you. Next year will definitely be smooth sailing for you. You'll be healthy and happy every day." Xie Yunjiao said.
Doudou took the coin and examined it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. "I will definitely keep this lucky coin well."
It was still early after they finished eating dumplings, so Xie Yunjiao pulled Gu Huai into the house in front of the two children.
Gu Huai looked at Xie Yunjiao who was so proactive, and two blushes appeared on his face.
"Madam, the children are still watching outside." Gu Huai took a deep breath and said nervously.
"Take off your clothes." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Take it off?" Gu Huai swallowed, "Why take off your clothes?"
His scalp tingled, as if he had already foreseen what would happen and was actually looking forward to it.
He felt all the blood rushing to his head, and his face seemed to get even hotter.
"Why are you still standing there? I have prepared the medicine. Take off your clothes and let me apply the medicine on you." Xie Yunjiao turned around, and saw that she really had a bottle of medicine in her hand.
"Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Xie Yunjiao teased.
If he hadn't said that on purpose, he might not have been willing to give her medicine.
When Xie Yunjiao thought about the success of her evil plan, she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
Gu Huai coughed lightly, and this time he moved quickly, quickly taking off half of his coat.
He took off half of his clothes, revealing his muscular body. Every muscle seemed to become restless, calling out to Xie Yunjiao, asking her to touch it.
Xie Yunjiao swallowed hard and took several deep breaths before adjusting her mentality.
Damn man, with such a great body, it’s hard not to mess around with him.
Xie Yunjiao didn't dare to look at him any longer, because she was afraid that she really couldn't help but touch him, so she had to apply medicine and bandage him casually before running out in a hurry.
"I'm going out for a while."
Xie Yunjiao went to Zhou Jinhai's house and bought all the sugarcane from his house.
Zhou Jinhai originally thought that Gu Huai had risked his life to save him and was injured, so he really didn't want to accept Xie Yunjiao's money, but Xie Yunjiao forced it on him, so he accepted it reluctantly.
Because of his son's illness, all the money in the family has been used up, and now this kind of thing has happened to him, it is difficult for him to have a good New Year.
In fact, although Zhou Jinhai is not as capable as Gu Huai, he has been with Gu Huai for many years, so he can catch a lot of prey and sell them in the town for a lot of money.
He is the only son and two daughters in his family, so he has control over the family's finances. They live a good life and have built a new house, which looks very comfortable.
But a sudden illness broke their happiness, and he could only sigh that the poor could not afford to get sick.
Xie Yunjiao also knew that medical technology was not well developed at that time, and life was difficult, it was difficult and expensive to see a doctor, and many people would die of illness once winter came!
There are many people who spend all their wealth on medical treatment.
"Is the child feeling better?" Xie Yunjiao suddenly remembered the child before leaving and couldn't help asking.
Zhou Jinhai sighed, a look of worry on his face: "It's still the same as always, getting better for a while, and then coming back the next."
"I've learned some medical skills from someone before. If you don't mind, let me help you take a look at what's going on. Is that okay with you?"
"If you are willing to help us, we are willing to do so."
Zhou Jinhai brought Xie Yunjiao into the house. The house was full of the smell of medicine. Xiaoyu was using the medicine soup to wipe the child's body.
The child's face was flushed, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were dull. It looked like the situation was not good.
Xiaoyu's eyes reddened when she saw Xie Yunjiao: "Why is this child so unfortunate? She got sick at this time and can't even have a good New Year."
Xie Yunjiao patted Xiaoyu's shoulder: "Don't cry, it will scare the child."
Xiaoyu pursed her lips and nodded, almost unable to hold back her tears. After hearing what Xie Yunjiao said, she forced herself to hold back her tears.
Xiaoyu stepped aside and let Xie Yunjiao take her son's pulse.
Xie Yunjiao discovered that Zhou Jinhai's son also had some red spots on his body, and his pulse was exactly the same as Lian Jin's.
She was afraid that it was wrong, so she listened again and was sure that his illness was probably the same as Lian Jin's.
Since Lian Jin gradually recovered after drinking her spiritual spring water, then Zhou Jinhai’s son must be able to do the same!
"I'll go home and prepare some medicine for him. He should be fine after drinking it."
Zhou Jinhai helped Xie Yunjiao transport all the sugarcane back home. When Xie Yunjiao got home, she immediately hid in the house and prepared some spiritual spring water. She was afraid that Zhou Jinhai and others would find something unusual, so she added some cold-relieving powder into the spiritual spring water.
"Feed him all the potions here. It should be effective tomorrow morning."
Zhou Jinhai took the bamboo tube with gratitude and hurried home. He thought that if he ran faster, the child would suffer less. Later, he ran faster and faster and returned home in less than half the time.
Xie Yunjiao found a stone mortar, cleaned it, and put the washed and chopped sugarcane into it to crush it and extract the water.
Take gauze to filter out the sugarcane juice and pour it into the pot. Repeat this process until there is enough sugarcane juice in the pot. Then light a fire and start boiling the sugarcane juice.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Gu Huai couldn't help asking while helping Xie Yunjiao watch the fire.
It was the first time he saw someone crushing sugarcane to extract juice and then boiling it in a pot.
Is it because the weather is cold and my wife wants to drink hot sugarcane juice?
But if you make so much at one time and can’t finish it, wouldn’t it be a waste?
"Making sugar, brown sugar." Xie Yunjiao said.
Gu Huai had never seen anyone make candy before, and he didn't know whether Xie Yunjiao was doing it right, but since Xie Yunjiao said that this was the way to make candy, he believed it.
